132. this remark
It makes me wonder if such posts are made by rational, caring people.

That's disturbing. Can't express an opinion around here without having your soul critiqued. I guess this is not as open and free as I have believed. Personally, discussion is good. You don't have to agree. But discussion is good.

There is sort of an implied assumption that when the candidate shakes out, people -even those who said they would never vote for that person - won't vote/work etc for them. I would have NEVER voted for Kerry and during the run up, that was my position but I voted for him and I worked for him because the pigs had to go.

The implication otherwise is offensive. People should talk and discuss but I know in crunch time, there is no alternative. They will do the right thing. They will do what I did and hold their nose when they mark the ballot.
